Features

Yahoo Mail has the following features:

* Free version: 1 GB quota. 10 MB attachments, plus protection against spam and viruses. (See: DomainKeys) Advertising is displayed on the screen while working with the email account. Users can also read mail from a POP3 server through Yahoo! Mail. However, if they want to send mail from a distant SMTP server, they must upgrade to a Plus account. Accounts not logged into for four months get deactivated (The account can be retrieved but all personal data is lost).

* Plus version: 2 GB quota. The Plus service offers POP3 access - meaning that the email account can be accessed through email clients (Mozilla Thunderbird, Outlook, Eudora, etc.) that work with the POP3 protocol. When working with the account over a web browser, no ads are displayed. This type of account has additional spam and virus protection. Yahoo! is charging $19.99 per year per user for Yahoo! Mail Plus. Users of Yahoo! affiliated Internet Service Providers, such as SBC and BT have all the features of the Plus version included as part of their accounts.

* Additionally, a user can pay $35 per year to have up to five custom e-mail address and domain name.

Controversy

In 2002, it came to light that Yahoo! Mail had filters that changed certain words and word fragments into other words. "Mocha" was changed to "espresso", "expression" became "statement", and perhaps most damaging, "eval" (short for "evaluation") became "review". The widespread effects of this can be seen by using the Google search engine to find such nonsensical terms as "prreviewent", "reviewuation" and "medireview".

When questioned about these changes, Yahoo! explained that the changed words were common terms used in Web scripting, and were blacklisted to prevent hackers from sending damaging commands via the program's HTML function.
